“"The Calm Shadow of the Oak"
Let's think of Pallagrello Nero like this: as an elegant and refined wine, aristocratic but at the same time lively and bold, a noble wine with its reassuring and proud character. The carefully selected grapes come from our own vineyard in the town of Castel Campagnano, managed with environmentally friendly farming techniques”
